Diagnostic validity of the fifth edition of the Wechsler intelligence scales for children in characteristics Neuro-psychology of students with learning disability by Marzieh Shiri Aminlou, Parviz Sharifi Avaradi, Javad Khalatbari

“…The collected data were analyzed using logistic regression analysis and SPSS software (Version 23).The study finally revealed that vocabulary and information tests (from verbal comprehension index), Block design with time point (from Visual-spatial index),arithmetic (from fluid reasoning scale), number span (direct), number span (reverse), picture span, letter-digit sequencing and letter-number sequencing (from working memory scale),and coding, cancellation (random), cancellation (structural), (from Processing speed index), had diagnostic validity.The fifth version of the Wechsler IQ Scales for children has diagnostic validity in the neuropsychological characteristics of students with learning disabilities and can distinguish students with learning disabilities from normal students.…”

The Processing of Phi-features in Sentences with Third-person Pronoun: An ERP Study in Turkish by Mehmet AYGÜNEŞ

“…It is suggested that the late N400 finding in the processing of the Number feature may be due to the load it imposes on the processing process due to the fact that the morphological appearance of the Number feature in verb conjugation is parallel to nominal pluralisation, and the greater demand on working memory as the resolution of the Number mismatch involves more alternatives than the Person mismatch.…”
